Nollywood actor Gideon Okeke has voiced serious concerns about poor hygiene practices in the Nigerian film industry after he suffered a severe skin reaction from a costume he wore on a movie set.

In a video posted online, the visibly uncomfortable actor showed his followers the rashes that had spread across his body. He explained that the irritation began shortly after he wore a traditional animal-skin tunic that was provided as part of his costume for the yet-to-be-disclosed film project. According to Okeke, the costume had not been properly washed or disinfected before use, which led to the allergic reaction.

The actor’s experience has sparked conversations about safety and health protocols on Nollywood sets. He stressed that proper hygiene and professional handling of costumes should be a priority to protect actors from preventable health issues. Okeke also hinted that such negligence is not an isolated case, noting that many actors face similar risks due to poor costume maintenance and inadequate health precautions.

His revelation has drawn reactions from fans and industry stakeholders, with many urging Nollywood producers and costume managers to adopt stricter hygiene measures to prevent future incidents and ensure the well-being of cast members.

“My body is full of rashes!!!
